How-to remove front bumper from Astra-j (MK6 5 Door Facelift)


Tools needed 
*Trim tools
*Torx 10 bit
*Socket Set

The first thing you need to do is remove 3 torx 10 screws on each side of the wheel arch.



Then there is small bolt where the bumper meets the wing underneath.



Next you need to undo the 6 torx 10 screws at the top.





 

Next you need to get under the car (I put mine on ramps).
You need to remove the torx 10 screw that holds the bottom of the wheel arch lining to the bumper (1 each side).



Next job is undo all the lugs sorry I couldn't get a pic showing all of them there is 4 or 6 (easy to work out which ones to undo)



Then you need loosen the mounting bolt, (you don't need the spanner the nut is welded on).



Then the bumper is ready to be removed, you need to start drivers side and start where the bumper meets the wing and pull it out (there are lugs here so be careful and use a trim removal tool if needed).



Then move round to passenger side & repeat, you can then start to pull the bumper away from the car and on the passenger side there is a connection that will need to be unclipped before you can fully remove the bumper.
